To temporarily switch to a broadcast program of
your choice
RDS mode is another convenient RDS service that allows this Unit
to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice
(NEWS, TA or INFO) from the currently selected station, except
if you are listening to a non-RDS station (all AM (MW) stations or
some FM stations).
• The RDS function is only applicable to the preset stations. See
page 10.
• If an FM station does not broadcast RDS mode information,
RDS mode cannot be activated.
To select a program type
1 Press the RDS MODE button twice while lis-
tening to an FM station.
“E. SELECT” blinks on the display.
2 Select the program type using the SELECT +
or – button within approx. 10 seconds.
The display shows a program type in the following order:
TA: Traffic Announcement
NEWS: News
INFO: Programs on medical service, weather forecast, etc.
OFF:
RDS mode off
3 Press the RDS MODE button within approx.
10 seconds again to set the selected pro-
gram type.
The selected program type indicator lights up on the display,
and the Unit enters RDS Standby mode.
• The RDS indicator lights up when tuned to a station which pro-
vides RDS mode information.
Case 1: If there is no station broadcasting the type of
program you have selected
The broadcast station being currently heard will continue to be
heard.
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected,
this unit automatically switches to the station. The program type
(TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts blinking.
«
When the program is over, this Unit goes back to the currently se-
lected station, but still remains in RDS Standby mode.
Case 2: If there is a station broadcasting the type of pro-
gram you have selected
This Unit tunes to the station broadcasting the program. The pro-
gram type (TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts blinking.
«
When the program is over, this Unit goes back to the currently se-
lected station, but still remains in RDS Standby mode.
To stop listening to the program selected by RDS mode
Press the RDS MODE button three times. The program type (TA,
NEWS or INFO) indicator goes off on the display.
• In RDS standby mode, if you change the source or turn off
the power, RDS standby mode is canceled.
• When the RDS is being operated (i.e. the selected pro-
gram type is being received from the broadcast station)
and if the DISPLAY MODE or SELECT button is operated,
the station will not switch back to the current selected sta-
tion even after the program ends. The program type indi-
cator remains in the display, indicating that the RDS is in
standby mode.
• When the RDS is in standby mode and a radio broadcast
is being recorded, be careful because the RDS may be
activated and a different program than the intended one
may be recorded.
When the RDS mode is not required, release the RDS
mode.
• When the alarm signal is detected by RDS, the station
broadcasting alarm is received with priority. “ALARM!” is
not displayed.
CAUTION:
• When the sound alternated intermittently be-
tween the station tuned in by the RDS function
and the current selected station, cancel the RDS
mode. This does not constitute malfunction of
the unit.
